An entire car lane is almost…

An entire car lane is almost never removed strictly for a bike lane, as a bike lane only takes up about 1/3 of a car lane's width. Usually, it also includes green space, more walking space, and/or street parking. The government should be transparent that this would also prevent the implementation of these other features and not focus so heavily on the car vs. bike debate. Plenty of car commuters would probably be frustrated at the removal of street parking as well. Further, this will not stop cyclists from going on these busy streets. They will just move along with the cars, and there should be markings on the road that indicate the lane is shared between cyclist and car. I find as a cyclist that more people are frustrated with me biking directly center and in front of their car than in a bike lane. Removal of a bike lane WILL make me share the road with drivers, and increase likelihood of accident AND delays.
